Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora A Great Example of Divorce!!

Heather Locklear

Getting divorced doesn’t mean that you have to hate your spouse. Whether it be you, a friend or family – we have all experienced divorce one way or another.

Heather Locklear and ex-husband Richie Sambora are embracing the spirit of Thanksgiving by celebrating the holiday together – along with Locklear’s boyfriend – this year. Wow!!

What an example of divorce and co-parenting.  Besides Demi Moore and Bruce Willis – I haven’t heard of many ex’s getting along this well. Madonna and Guy Ritchie should take notes on this one (although it is definitely too soon for them to have all that togetherness).

People Magazine has reported that Richie and Heather are spending Thanksgiving together with their daughter Ava.  Jack Wagner, Heather’s boyfriend, and a few good friends will also be having dinner with them.

Heather and Richie split in 2006 after 12 years of marriage, but they continue to be supportive of each other, and to co-parent their 11 year old daughter.

They may be divorced, but they are raising a little girl they both love very much.

A friend of Heather’s has been quoted as saying,

“Heather and Richie are very supportive of each other,”. “They talk all the time, and anytime Ava has something important happening they are there together. It’s going to be a very nice Thanksgiving for everyone.”

Madonna is Sad About Her Personal Life

Madonna

And who can blame her.  She is in the process of getting a highly publicized divorce from Guy Ritchie.

 

In an interview with the Associated Press, Madonna admits her split from Guy Ritchie has been tough.

“I’m sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life.” 

As she continues on her Sticky & Sweet tour, she said her heavy workload

 ”provides a distraction that keeps me going.  It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do.”

Ritchie is also staying busy, as he films Sherlock Holmes in London.

The divorce will be finalized in six weeks and a day.

According to a court document, Madonna, who acted as the petitioner, said in a sworn statement that she is divorcing Ritchie for his “unreasonable behavior.”

There have been so many rumors about her behavior and “rules” that it would be nice to see what her idea of “unreasonable behavior” would be.  Any ideas??

Rosie O’Donnell Speaks Out on the Today Show

Rosie O

Rosie O’Donnell is back!! Rosie is going to be hosting a Variety Show, “Rosie Live”, Wednesday at 8PM. An hour of fun – no controversy, no fighting. For Rosie that is a change. Especially in the past week with Rosie and Barbara Walters going back and forth fighting and slamming each other every chance they get.

Rosie was on the “Today” Show this morning where she had another opportunity to express herself.
When asked about the latest controversy with “The View”, Rosie stated,

“No matter what Barbara Walters wants everyone to think, that everyone gets along – that is just not a reality.”

Rosie also said you don’t hear the question. After 60 interviews you are just trying to answer the questions. One of the questions was, “Are the woman really friends?” – my answer to that was no – they are not hanging out on the weekends.

“It was never my goal to hurt anyone there (on the View). After the Donald Trump thing – after Christmas – I knew I was not going to re-sign with The View and Barbara also knew that.”

Rosie is still hurt about the incident where they went to a split screen when Rosie and Elizabeth were fighting.

 

Rosie also admits to being “hard to take” for some people and admits that Barbara Walters probably just had had enough of her.

What do you think is Rosie hard to take??

What Did Miley Get for Her 16th Birthday??

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus may have already closed Disneyland down for an early celebration of her Sweet 16 birthday, but that was just the beginning of the celebration for the Disney star. Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, may have got his daughter the best possible gift for a young singing sensation — and it’s not a new car.

 

Billy Ray told Access Hollywood that Miley wanted a recording studio.

“She just wanted a place to record there at the house. She’s been writing a lot of songs … a lot of really great material.”

And Miley won’t be the only singer in the house spending some time in the new studio — at least according to dad.

Miley could not be any happier about her gift.

Billy Ray may have his sights set on logging some hours behind the mic, but not if Miley has anything to say about it.

“He’s not touching it, he’s not touching it! It’s mine, It’s in my room. No one’s touching it but me. They’ll ruin it.”

Isn’t 16 great.  You don’t have to be thankful and it’s okay.

Miley Cyrus Celebrates 16th Birthday at Music Awards Show!!

Happy Birthday Miley!!

Miley Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday on Sunday, November 23rd.  The only “problem” was that she had a conflict – it was the same day as the American Music Awards where she was going to be performing her song, “Fly on the Wall”.  What is a girl to do.

Thanks to her parents and some friends her big day did not go forgotten.  They had a mini party at the American Music Awards (AMAs).  Not her only celebration since Miley had an early celebration on October 5 at California’s Disneyland.

Besides her parents, some of her friends including, Jordin Sparks, Julianne Hough, Taylor Swift and Ashley Tisdale all surrounded and cheered for the birthday girl as she blew out the candles on her birthday cake.

What a way to celebrate your birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILEY!!

Michelle Williams Tells All…from Heath, to Paparazzi to Matilda

had a heartfelt interview with Newsweek Magazine where she speaks about Heath Ledger, her ex-boyfriend and father to her daughter, Matilda and the paparazzi.

Michelle Williams

 

Michelle Williams has been all over the tabloids since her ex-boyfriend Heath Ledger died from a prescription overdose last January.   Photographers have stalked Michelle and her 3-year-old daughter, Matilda, to the point where she’s now spending some time in a farmhouse in upstate New York just to escape.

Michelle still finds it difficult to talk about Heath Ledger.  The first time Ledger’s name comes up, she bursts into tears.  Here’s some of what Michelle had to say in her Newsweek Interview.

 ”It’s so sad,” 

When she’s asked about how she’s been doing in the past year, she says

“I guess it’s always changing.  What else can I say?  I just wake up each day in a slightly different place—grief is like a moving river, so that’s what I mean by ‘it’s always changing’.  It’s a strange thing to say because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That’s what I would say.”

As for the paparazzi – Michelle said that if they won’t leave her alone she may just have to leave them behind. She says she’ll quit acting, if that’s what it takes to get her life back.

As for her daughter, Matilda, the love of her life.  For now, Williams is taking a year off to focus on being Matilda’s mom.

When everything is said and done – that’s all that really matters.  Matilda.
